RE: UPDATE HISTORY SHOWS FAILED UPDATES

The specific Update History entry listed as 'failed' will continue to show as
failed even if a subsequent update attempt is infact successful. The
subsequent attempt will be listed as successful --thus there will be the
successful entry as well as any/all failed attempts for a given update.

What happens if you 'click' on the 'failed update' icon?
